Confident interface workflow - You will move around Affinity faster, organize your workspace with intention, and use panels and toolbars more effectively so you can work smoothly on every design task.
Stronger drawing skills - You will practice brushes, pencils, and erasers, which will help you sketch more freely, refine details with confidence, and create custom graphic elements with better control.
Accurate object transformations - You will master scaling, rotating, and cropping, making it easier to fit elements into a layout, keep proportions under control, and build cleaner, more intentional compositions.
Better layer control - You will learn how to create and manage layers, use masks, and apply blending modes so you can edit non-destructively and handle complex changes in a much more organized way.
Effective correction and retouching - You will work with white balance, saturation, and curves, then apply retouching tools for skin fixes, smoothing, and cloning to improve photos with more precision and purpose.
Better typography in layouts - You will add and format text, work with text frames, and adjust paragraph settings and fonts so your projects become clearer, more polished, and visually consistent from start to finish.
Reliable import and export - You will understand when to use JPEG, PNG, GIF, or TIFF for importing and exporting, helping you prepare files properly for publishing, printing, or additional graphic processing.
Photomontage and special effects - You will combine photomontage tools with filters and visual effects to build more polished compositions, control transparency, and shape the final mood of your graphics deliberately.
Basic Affinity skills - You should already know the basic functions of Affinity, be able to open a project, save a file, and use simple tools without needing step-by-step guidance from the trainer.
Computer operation - You should be comfortable using a computer, mouse, and keyboard, work smoothly in your operating system, and manage files and folders on your drive without difficulty.
Image editing basics - You should understand core image editing concepts such as layers, cropping, selections, and file size so you can move into more advanced tasks without unnecessary confusion.
File format awareness - You should know the practical differences between common graphic formats such as JPEG and PNG so you can import materials and export your work more consciously.
